Shouldn't these characters be after all their other characters have been done? Its like starting with Thanos.

Darkseid appeared three years before Thanos did. Kevin Feige's choice not to have movie Thanos be in love with the personification of death led to the character becoming Darkseid-light--going around planet to planet and balancing the abundance of life with half-death, like his mission were some sort of equation, an anti-life equation, if you will. DC could always make Darkseid into the comics version of Thanos that audiences never got to see onscreen. I liked when they faced off in Marvel vs. DC and Darkseid called Thanos “a pale imitation of me”. And in the Thorion book, which was one of the better Amalgam titles, they merged and became Thanoseid.

The New Gods were created as their own self-contained thing for the most part, so dedicated films just for their world can work at any point. Especially now that DC stopped giving a shit about shared universes.

Which Marvel has waited to do until Phase 4 since it's a pretty deep cut into the overall lore. the new Gods outside of Darkseid aren't nearly as known as the majority of the DC universe...

True, but they pulled off Guardians pretty early on. I mean yes, it is a big ask, but Shazam just introduced mountain wizards.

I think after everything that's been released prior to this, including the MCU movies, it isn't too much to ask of the audience if handled correctly. The New Gods in execution isn't too far off from something like Star Wars, an epic space fantasy.
Unfortunately I have zero faith in Ava being the person to handle it correctly.
We'll see. If it's good, I'm thrilled to eat crow.

I was looking forward to this, granted I f***ing hated Joker but it was interesting that they were giving stuff from outside the norm of comic book fare a whack. DC needs to take like 3 years off and figure out what the hell they're doing

Well since the last we heard of this was 2019... I guess it's not terribly surprising this was canned.
Especially with how bad At&T have been doing in general.

Not surprised. WB screwed all this stuff up and still dont seem to have a clear vision. Whatever happens next, happens next. Done caring about it.

I can't really claim I'm shocked. If anything I'm surprised DC hasn't formally cancelled more of the 800 movies they announced at once a few years ago only to have zero update on them since.
I don't really at all understand the appeal of the New Gods anyway. ... If I'm being honest that kind of goes for most of Kirby's stuff.

Because they make you care. They give their characters arcs and motivations for why they do the things they do. I don't think anyone pputside of a few comic nerds and James Gunn gave a crap about Guardians of the Galaxy before the film. I have a feel the New Gods was DC's answer to the Eternals, but no surprise it's gone with all the reshuffling over at DC.

It's best to reset everything at this point, but man, an Ava Duvernay New Gods movie could have been interesting. If at the very least to watch the Snyder Cult lose their minds about it's very existence.
